Clients Over Closings: Win Big With These Tips Now

This week, I sat down with none other than Brad Allen, co-owner and broker-in-charge at The Art of Real Estate, and a total powerhouse when it comes to building systems, scaling smart, and keeping the client experience front and center.

We talk about:

Brad Allen shares how he started from zero—literally—in a brand-new market where he knew no one, and how he built a thriving business rooted in relationships and results. We talk about why professionalism still matters, even in a world of viral TikToks and jean shorts, and how showing up like a pro can be your ultimate competitive edge. We also dive into the “messy middle” of today’s real estate landscape—lawsuits, commissions, AI, and everything in between—and how agents can stay grounded through it all. Brad reminds us that clients aren’t “crazy”—they’re often just confused, and it’s our job to provide the clarity they deserve. Most of all, this conversation is a testament to what’s possible when you build your business on grit, systems, and service—not gimmicks.

Whether you’re a team leader, solo agent, or just someone trying to navigate this ever-changing market, Brad brings the kind of perspective this industry needs more of—honest, humble, and hella strategic.

🎧 LISTEN NOW and let’s raise the bar—together.
